* [Client][Docs][Schema][Server] Implement protocol version negotiation
The `initialize` handler never looked at the version the client asked for:
it always answered with the server's configured version (or the SDK default),
so a client offering a revision the server supports could still be told to
speak a different one. The spec requires echoing back a supported request and
only counter-offering when the requested version cannot be honoured.
Turns ProtocolVersion into the registry the other SDKs converged on
(typescript-sdk's protocolEras.ts, python-sdk's mcp_types/version.py):
`latestHandshake()`, `handshakeVersions()`, `modernVersions()` and ordered
comparison through `isAtLeast()`. Comparison goes through declaration order
rather than string collation, so an unrecognized peer string compares
conservatively instead of accidentally sorting above a known revision. The
one throw the enum can produce is the SDK's own LogicException, so a consumer
catching `Mcp\Exception\ExceptionInterface` does not miss it.
Adds 2026-07-28 as a known revision and splits the set into two eras:
handshake (2025-11-25 and earlier, negotiated via `initialize`) and modern
(2026-07-28+, per-request `_meta`). The lists are kept apart so a modern
revision can never leak into an `initialize` exchange, which has no
`initialize` at all. Serving the modern era is follow-up work; this only
teaches the SDK that the revision exists and must not be mis-negotiated.
Deliberately absent is any "newest revision in any era" accessor, which
would hand back the one revision the handshake must never offer.
Server: negotiates and stores the result on the session. A version pinned in
Configuration still pins the handshake to exactly that revision.
Client: validates the counter-offer and fails the handshake instead of
continuing on a revision it cannot speak; records the negotiated version on
the client state, readable through the new Client::getProtocolVersion().
The HTTP middleware now defaults to the handshake versions rather than every
declared case, so it stops accepting a modern version the server cannot yet
serve. When the header is absent it falls back to
ProtocolVersion::DEFAULT_NEGOTIATED_VERSION (2025-03-26), the revision that
introduced both Streamable HTTP and the header itself.
The negotiation behaviour is one provideNegotiationTable() data provider
whose rows are the documented table -- supported revision echoed back,
unknown or malformed counter-offered, modern counter-offered -- so the docs
and the suite cannot drift apart. The supported-revision rows iterate
handshakeVersions() rather than a literal list, so declaring a new handshake
revision extends the table automatically, and the "never answer with a modern
revision" assertion runs on every row.
Documented in server-builder.md (the enum registry, how the server answers a
handshake, what pinning changes), transports.md (the header check) and
client.md (the client's side), all linking the spec's versioning section.
* [Client][Docs][Schema][Server] Warn when the configured protocol version cannot be negotiated
* Log a warning instead of silently falling back when a modern revision is
configured on the client or pinned on the server builder.
* Document that setProtocolVersion() does not restrict the MCP-Protocol-Version
header check, which validates against a fixed set.
* Pin every revision's era in a test, so a new case declared past the modern
boundary fails instead of dropping out of the handshake set.
* Add CHANGELOG entry.
* [Client][Docs][Schema][Server] Rename version fallback constant and trim comments
* [Client][Server] Add Roots support
Wire up the MCP "roots" capability on both sides:
Client (php-sdk as client):
- RootsCallbackInterface + ListRootsRequestHandler answer server roots/list
requests, mirroring the Sampling handler.
- Client::sendRootsListChanged() emits notifications/roots/list_changed.
Server (php-sdk as server):
- ClientGateway::listRoots() requests the client's roots, and
supportsRoots() reports whether the client advertised the capability,
normalizing the stored capabilities to an array so an empty
capabilities object (\stdClass) doesn't cause a TypeError.
- Add ListRootsResult::fromArray() (used by listRoots()).
- ListRootsRequestHandler forwards RootsException messages to the server
(new Mcp\Exception\RootsException), mirroring SamplingRequestHandler.
- Client::sendRootsListChanged() throws when the client did not advertise
the roots.listChanged capability.
Examples, docs and tests:
- examples/README/docs advertise
`new ClientCapabilities(roots: true, rootsListChanged: true)` before
sending notifications/roots/list_changed.
- CHANGELOG entry for Roots (unreleased 0.7.0 section at the time).
- Unit tests for capability serialization/round-trip, sendRootsListChanged
gating, and RootsException message forwarding.
phpunit, php-cs-fixer and phpstan green.
* [Client][Server] Address review: schema validation, changelog section, connection guard, working example
Responds to chr-hertel's review of the Roots support:
- ListRootsResult::fromArray() rejects non-array root elements instead of
accepting malformed entries silently.
- CHANGELOG entry moved to the next unreleased section as the release
train advanced past it (0.7.0 -> 0.8.0).
- Client::sendRootsListChanged() went straight to
Protocol::sendNotification(), which sends via
`$this->transport?->send()` -- on a client that is not connected the
notification was silently dropped. It now throws a ConnectionException
like sendRequest() does.
- The stdio example only advertised the roots capability, so the
roots/list handler never actually ran. The client-communication demo
server gets an `inspect_workspace_roots` tool that calls
ClientGateway::supportsRoots()/listRoots(); the example calls it, so
the server actually issues roots/list and the client answers it.
Dropped the try/catch wrapper from the example.
- ClientTest's connected-client mock now goes through setState() so
isConnected() reflects a real handshake instead of a stubbed flag.

HttpTransport looked for an event boundary with strpos($buffer, "\n\n") and
split event lines on "\n". Servers that terminate SSE lines with CRLF therefore
never produced a recognised event: the response accumulated in the buffer, no
message was ever dispatched, and connect() failed with "Initialization failed:
Request timed out".
This affects every MCP server built on the Python SDK. FastMCP's
streamable_http_app() returns sse_starlette's EventSourceResponse without a sep
argument, and its DEFAULT_SEPARATOR is "\r\n". The bug is invisible from within
this repository because the PHP server implementation emits LF, so client and
server agree in the test suite while disagreeing with most servers in the wild.
The SSE specification requires a parser to accept CRLF, LF or CR, so the
previous behaviour was non-compliant rather than merely unlucky.
Event extraction now accepts all three terminators, choosing whichever appears
first so a buffer split mid-sequence is handled correctly, and line splitting
uses the same set. A stream that ends without a trailing blank line now
dispatches its final event instead of discarding it.
Adds the first tests for src/Client/Transport/, covering LF, CRLF and CR
framing, an id field, a comment preamble, and a missing trailing blank line.
Without the fix four of the six fail with the timeout above.

processInput() appended every 8 KiB stdout chunk to $inputBuffer and only
drained it on a "\n". A spawned server that streams stdout without ever
emitting a newline grew the buffer without bound, exhausting client
memory (GHSA-6vrr-g4hw-f3hj).
Cap the buffer (default 4 MiB, configurable via the constructor). When
appending the next chunk would exceed the cap before a newline is seen,
abort the read and resolve the in-flight request with an error
immediately, so the caller fails fast instead of spinning until its
request timeout.
Based on localden's suggested fix in the advisory: makes the cap
configurable, but resolves the pending request with an error (keeping
runRequest's Response|Error contract) instead of throwing a
TransportException out of the read loop, and leaves connection teardown
to the caller. Adds regression tests.

processSSEStream() appended every 4 KiB chunk to $sseBuffer and only
flushed on the "\n\n" SSE event delimiter. A server streaming data
without ever sending the delimiter grew the buffer without bound,
exhausting client memory (GHSA-7m52-jw36-44r3).
Cap the buffer (default 8 MiB, configurable via the constructor). When
appending the next chunk would exceed the cap before a complete event is
seen, abort the stream and resolve the in-flight request with an error
immediately, so the caller fails fast instead of spinning until its
request timeout.
Reimplements tonghuaroot's advisory fix: makes the cap configurable
rather than a hardcoded constant, fails the pending request fast instead
of relying on the timeout, and adds regression tests.

* [Client] Add client-side elicitation support
The SDK could send elicitation/create requests from a server tool via
ClientGateway::elicit(), but the client could not receive them: there was
no request handler, and ElicitRequest was not registered in MessageFactory,
so incoming elicitation/create messages failed to parse.
This adds the client half, mirroring the existing Sampling pattern:
- Register ElicitRequest in MessageFactory so elicitation/create parses.
- ElicitationRequestHandler wraps a user callback and returns an
ElicitResult (accept/decline/cancel) or an Error.
- ElicitationCallbackInterface defines the callback contract.
- ElicitationException forwards a specific message to the server; any
other throwable returns a generic error.
Includes unit tests, a runnable client example against the elicitation
demo server, and client docs/README updates.
* [Client] Simplify elicitation example labelFor() per review
Type the parameter as AbstractSchemaDefinition and read ->title directly
instead of matching on each concrete definition type. title is a required
non-null string on the base class, so the match and the $name fallback were
redundant.
